Wang: "Can you ...... then?" That is, can you contact some familiar gnome craftsmen? ”

Gaines asked suspiciously, "Do what?" As far as I know, there are no ...... among the dwarf craftsmen who are familiar with the technology of the Cyclops Empire."

Wang: "I'm going to build an electricity system on this island. ”

Gaines frowned slightly: "You may not know, electricity needs a magic device with a constant lightning spell as the core, and then it also needs an insulated room as a 'discharge room'. ”

As he spoke, the dwarf pointed to the airship in the sky: "There is one on the airship." Do you have such a device? ”

Wang: "I don't. But I have a more convenient way to generate electricity. I'll show you when the craftsman comes to the island. ”

Gaines nodded, "Wisdom from the traveling mage." Okay, I'll go to the Crusaders and ask them to help me carry a message to my friend. As long as it is said that the disciples of Master Lu want to share new knowledge, I think many people are willing to come.

"You're weird, though."

Wang raised his eyebrows: "What's strange?" ”

Gaines: "Isn't it a contradiction that you said you wanted to examine me as a bard, and now you are willing to trust the craftsmen I have found?" ”

Wang: "The problem is that I have no other channel to find dwarf craftsmen, and there are so many more people on the island at once, and these people still have to communicate with the outside world, and the leakage of information has long been a sure thing."

"So I'm not afraid that the craftsman you've found has spies in them. But joining the Salvation Squad is different, you will know our core secrets, so you have to investigate. ”

Gaines laughed, "You've all included people like Minsk in the Salvation Squad." I'm telling you, that guy can't be trusted, and he has a terrible reputation.

"He's an eight-ring mage, and he's so mixed up that no one wants to work for him, just because he betrays his employer all day long."

Wang: "You know Minsk too?" ”

Gaines: "I don't know what he looks like, but I know that there is an eight-ring mage named Minsk, who can go to more than a dozen places to receive a reward after being caught, so he can't just catch it, and he has to cut it carefully and divide it into many parts to go to different places to receive the reward." ”

Wang exclaimed, "It's not easy to be mixed like this. But one thing you're wrong about is that he didn't join the Salvation Squad. ”

Gaines: "Really? ”

Wang: "And we're about to hand him over to Lancelot's Order." ”

Gaines: "I didn't expect that, so he's really not a savior?" As far as I know, the Salvation Squad lacks spell-casting ability, so is it okay to let an eight-ring mage go? ”

Wang: "We have partially solved the problem of lack of spellcasting ability, and now we have countermeasures against the high-ring spellcaster. ”

"That'll do. Anyway, I went to write a letter to my old friends and said goodbye first. Keynes bowed slightly, and walked toward the Crusaders.

Wang Yi clapped his hands: "It's done." ”

At this time, the sound stone in the king's pocket suddenly sounded.

After connecting it, Marika's voice came from the microphone: "Minsk he ran away!" Tear a scroll in front of all of us and disappear! ”

Wang: "You didn't stop him from tearing the scroll?" ”

"I stopped, but he had a trigger, and my dagger and the brute's axe missed."

Wang: "Let's go, let's go, he was ready to flee a long time ago, probably only because I said I had something important to tell him, so he waited until now." ”

Marika: "How do you explain that to the Order?" ”

Wang: "I'll go and tell the Order." ”

**

"Anyway, that's the case." The king spread his hands in front of Petro, "Minsk has run away, you can verify this by any means." ”

Teresa said angrily: "I don't believe it! This is clearly your intention to shield this wanted criminal! Do you know how many forces want him? ”

Wang: "I think that the fact that he is wanted by so many forces and that he can still be alive shows that he has an amazing ability to escape." ”

Teresa was about to retort when Petro raised a hand to stop her.

"It doesn't matter, the old liar is just an add-on, and the elimination of the lich is the right thing." Pietro said as he looked into the king's eyes, "But, Lord of the City, if the Salvation Squad is to save the world, the help of the Lancelot Order is essential. Please keep this in mind. ”

Wang: "I remember. We were going to hand him over to your church, but we were caught off guard by Minsk. By the way, we suspect that Minsk also betrayed our information to the Austrofa Federation, which is why today we will be attacked by the Austrofa Federation.

"In this case, what reason do we have to shield him?"

Petro nodded, but Teresa was clearly unconvinced, but it was only because of the bishop's face.

The cardinal changed the subject: "Accompanied by Princess Rosalie, I chose the location of the temple, Teresa. ”

Teresa stepped forward reluctantly and handed over a roll of parchment.

The archbishop unfolded the parchment on the table next to him, and the king realized that it was a map of the surface of the floating island, showing the locations of all the important buildings: Kailin's "temple", the water vapor harvesting device, the barracks of the vigilante regiment, the elevator to the central control room, the general entrance to the ground floor, and so on.

In addition to this, the map also shows the patrol routes of the island's civilian systems, and it is clear that the Order considers the Golem to be part of the island's defenses.

However, the map does not indicate the location of the "Heavy Defense Units", apparently treating them as ordinary ruins.

Pietro: "Originally, we preferred to place the temple in the center of the island, but Her Excellency Rosalie insisted that the center of the island must be the future lord's residence, so in the end we set the temple in the direction of the rising sun. ”

As he spoke, his finger landed on the east side of the map.

"This is it. The first batch of stone has been scheduled for expedited delivery. ”

Wang nodded: "I have no opinion." ”

Pietro: "In addition, we are also paying close attention to the selection of the priest of the parish, and considering the preferences of His Excellency the city lord, the order is ready to send a nun. ”

Wang: "I don't know your rules, can a nun be a parish priest?" ”

Petro: "Of course you can, but we don't usually do that. Temples and monasteries each have their own duties. The temple is responsible for spreading the teachings of our Lord, and the monastery is responsible for demonstrating the mercy of our Lord.

"But both are servants of my lord."

Wang: "Okay, but I want to emphasize that you are not right when you say, 'According to my preference'. I don't have the rumored preferences. ”

Pietro nodded: "That's my gaffe, I'm very sorry." ”

Wang: "So it's okay to be a male pastor." ”

But the decision to send a nun was personally approved by the Pope, and it is difficult to change it now. But if you really care, we can send an old woman. Petro said.

Wang hesitated for a moment and replied, "It's okay, the old lady's level as a priest must be very high." ”

Petro: "I will convey your meaning to the Ministry. ”

Elizabeth quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

**

Over the next few days, things moved faster than Wang had expected.

The first was that the Lancelot Temple was built faster than he expected.

On the third day after the site selection was completed, the airship brought in stone and wood, and quickly completed a building with stone walls + wooden beams and tile roofs.

They even put stained glass windows on the building.

But the church was built, but the promised grandmother did not arrive, so for the time being, the priest of the Crusader advance team served as the priest.

The second ship of the Crusaders arrived a week later, bringing not only the paladins and priests armed to the teeth, but also the first supplies for the Floating City.

Rosalie set up a stall in the center of the floating island, handing out the clothes and daily necessities she had just gotten to the people.

As a result, the thing was robbed in the blink of an eye.

Then Rosalie approached the king: "We must issue coins, otherwise there will be problems with the distribution of supplies on the island." Just now I sent something, and many people took advantage of the chaos to get a few more copies. ”

Wang: "Can't they be bought with ordinary gold coins?" ”

Rosalie sighed: "Look at these survivors on the island, who is rich?" And in the current state of the island, there is no place to keep gold coins safely. Gold coins are so big and heavy that in Monrovia people don't keep them in their homes, but in the mint or goldsmiths.

"And we don't have such a place on the island."

Wang: "And what about your proposal?" ”

"Issuing bills, which was done by the big comptoirs in Monrovia, and my father's Chancellor of the Exchequer had considered using the royal authority to endorse the issuance of bills for the whole country, that is, paper money, but was beaten back by the great nobles." Rosalie said.

Wang: "Why did the nobles fight back?" ”

Rosalie: "How do I know I was six years old when this happened. But I think if the big chambers of commerce can do that, so can we. ”

Wang: "Okay, when the dwarf craftsmen arrive, let them build a printing shop that can print some banknotes, and their technology can make banknotes very difficult to counterfeit." ”

"So what now?" Rosalie asked rhetorically, "I suggest that we issue temporary bills now, and use magic to figure out how to prevent counterfeiting." ”

Wang: "Do you mean to ask me to magically stamp the bills issued?" But this kind of magic mark, ordinary people have no way to verify his authenticity, only a mage can tell whether it is left by me or someone else. ”

Rosalie: "Well, I didn't think about it. ”

Wang: "In this case, let's take out the copper plates in the inventory and redefine the value of the copper plates. Copper plates are smaller and lighter than gold coins, and they are not precious metals themselves, which can partially solve the storage problem. ”

Rosalie: "With copper plates? ”

Wang: "Yes, just re-stipulate the value of copper plates, such as one copper plate for a chair, and ten copper plates for a good set of clothes." You can set the specific price according to the situation, you know better than me.

"In this way, let the Pelican Gang go to work in the future, and they won't have to work in vain, and they will be issued copper plates. When the next shipload of supplies arrives, those who work more for Floating City will be able to get more supplies. ”

"Good idea." Rosalie nodded, then laughed again, "But I always thought that all the copper plates would be taken to Flint's temple for charr spirits. ”

Wang: "Then the wine will be served free of charge, anyway, the wine on Flint's side is made with water, so let him serve it according to the white water." ”

Rosalie: "Alright, then I'll get to work on the copper coins and pricing them right away." ”
